Create Svlan - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual

ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.

create svlan

create svlan <svlan-name>
Description
Creates the VLAN for the 802.1ad, or vMAN, frames. Each SVLAN carries the traffic for a different
service provider, or service instance. Within the SVLAN, or vMAN, the customer VLANs remain
untouched.
Syntax Description
svlan-name
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
This is a pure Layer 2 vMAN, which is transparent to users. Do not install Layer 2 control protocols on
these interfaces because all BPDUs are tunneled through the 802.1ah, or MAC-in-MAC, tunnel. Do not
assign any IP addresses to these interfaces, and ensure that IP forwarding is disabled.
You must use mutually exclusive names for:
VLANs
●
vMANs
●
Ipv6 tunnels
●
BVLANs
●
SVLANs
●
You can create and configure up to 16 million SVLANs for each of the 4094 BVLANs supported on the
switch, depending on the hardware resources of the switch.
Example
The following command creates the SVLAN white:
create svlan white
